Galleria Sciarra is a hidden gem located just a few feet away from the chic Via del Corso and the legendary Trevi Fountain.

This relatively unknown courtyard has the ability to transport visitors to the peak of the Art Nouveau movement with its brilliant colors and stunning frescoes. Constructed for the influential Sciarra family in the late 19th century, it was originally meant to be a shopping mall, however that never came to fruition.

Today, visitors are encouraged to visit the courtyard to view the colorful frescoes of men and women encircled by graceful, curling floral designs. Painted by renowned artist Giuseppe Cellini, the artwork was intended to honor women and celebrate their various stages of life.
